Backstage, Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux are met by Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Uriah Connors, Arianna Grace), who state that they will put down anyone who gets in their way of the top position in NXT and the NXT tag titles. Legacy and Van Dux take exception to this before heading to the ring for their match.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Cruz Montana talks about his match at Heatwave with General Manager Robert Stone when EK Prosper shows up and apologizes to Montana. After that, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake, Myka Lockwood) show up, and this leads to Cruz Montana taking exception to the interruption and challenging The Vanity Project to a match against him and EK Prosper.

DarkState (Cutler James and Osiris Griffin) beat Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux after Dion Lennox attacks Dorian Van Dux on the outside. Afterwards, Birthright (Lexis King, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Uriah Connors, Arianna Grace) suddenly storms the ring and states that they will put people in the ground until they get the attention and the championship gold that they deserve, starting with Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux, who they soon attack. All of a sudden, Zilla Fatu shows up and overpowers Birthright, and Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux soon help out with clearing the ring before Zilla hits Charlie Dempsey with the Triple Z.





In tonight's NXT Focus, Mason Rook talks about his big win last week and how he is one step closer to an NXT championship. He also talks about how he bounced back from injury by finishing a tour with Pro Wrestling NOAH and heading to North America for his NXT tryout.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone meets with Skylar Raye when Myles Borne shows up. Stone tells Borne that he has all the time he needs for his public apology to Tavion Heights.

Backstage, Zaria is medically cleared by the trainer but is told to take it easy for a few weeks. Izzi Dame shows up and wonders who Thea Hail injured Zaria, then asks if people are born wicked or if wickedness is thrust upon them.

Myles Borne is in the ring. Borne asks Tavion Heights to come to the ring so he can personally apologize to him, man-to-man. Tavion Heights show up and heads to the ring. Borne thanks Tavion for coming to the ring, and Tavion says they have been through a lot and that brothers fight. He then says that Borne crossed the line at Heatwave, and Borne says that he jumped the gun and that he was paranoid. He says that they both had no idea how it would be if they lost their titles, and says sorry. Tavion says he appreciates the apology, but that his back is still sore from where he still stabbed him after he lost his first title in NXT. He says that this is not something that one can just forget, and that maybe that time has passed. Myles Borne brings up Tavion Heights challenging him for the North American Championship and feeling like a bad brother, and how he was able to forgive Tavion together. Borne says that they are unstoppable together and that nobody can take away the memories they have had. He says that he is not proud of what he has done and that Tavion can relate, then asks Tavion do for him what he did for Tavion and to forgive him so they can start fresh again. Tavion acknowledges that he had a part to play in all of this, and Borne says that they need to balance that success without it overshadowing their friendship. Borne says he cannot take back what he did, but he loves Tavion like a brother. Tavion forgives Borne, saying that they are "dogs for life," then Borne hits Tavion with Borne Again and fails to stop there, tossing Tavion through an outside barricade and pulling a metal folding chair out of the ring. Borne then wraps the chair around Tavion's left ankle and stomps the chair, breaking Tavion's ankle. Referees check on Tavion before Borne leaves the ring.

Backstage, Emily Agard interviews Saquon Shugars, who plans on laying out Tony D'Angelo and Mason Rook for a shot at the NXT Championship when Tristan Angels shows up and mocks Shugars' appearance while stating that he is championship material and Shugars is a class below. Shugars tells Tristan to stop "hating outside of the club" and to watch him win the NXT Championship.

Kelani Jordan heads to the ring. She says she should have known from when she won the NXT Women's Championship on the first shot that she would be setting a new standard as champion. Kelani says she is not like other champions because she puts her money where he mouth is and succeeds every single time, but every time she wins, another woman want to make it about herself. She says that while Wren Sinclair got suspended, she debuted on Raw in Mexico City, Mexico, then says that nobody is coming for her title because they are all too intimidated to step up. As Kelani says that she is setting a new standard and that nobody is doing it like her, the new AAA Reina de Reinas Champion, La Catalina, suddenly shows up and heads to the ring.La Catalina says that Kelani Jordan is not the only one setting records in WWE and that she will be the one taking women's wrestling in Mexico to the next level. Suddenly, Zaria shows up. Zaria says they can both talk about standards all they want, but when it comes to dominant champions, her name had better be in the conversation, as neither Kelani or La Catalina are unifying titles. As Zaria says that Thea Hail's win against her was a fluke, Thea Hail shows up and says it is time somebody talked about her, saying that she can hang with anyone in the ring and the fans know it. She says she may be the youngest in the ring, but she is finding her footing and she is championship material, as she tapped out the Women's North American Champion and she has to do it one more time to win the title again. This leads to a two-on-two brawl, and Thea Hail and La Catalina get the better of Kelani Jordan and Zaria.



We hear from Tony D'Angelo, who says that people do not change and that people carry their past with them. He says he is glad to face Mason Rook and Saquon Shugars on the way back to the NXT Championship, as Saquon helped take what he once had and Mason Rook tried to earn his stripes on his first day by taking him out. D'Angelo says that people do not change, but neither does he, and he is the once and future NXT Champion.

We hear from Shiloh Hill, who addresses the threats by Naraku by continuing to research the different mists and their acidity levels. He tests a weakened yellow mist on himself, then starts seeing talking raccoons.



Backstage, Emily Agard interviews General Manager Robert Stone, who announces that he is bringing back the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with fourteen teams from all over WWE. The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) show up wanting to know who is in the tournament, but Julius tells Brutus that whoever they face, they will be the first-ever two-time winners.



Mason Rook beats Tony D'Angelo and Saquon Shugars in an NXT Championship #1 Contender's Triple Threat Match after Tristan Angels pulls Saquon out of the ring and brawls with him through the crowd. Rook hits D'Angelo with a one-handed Blue Thunder Bomb and a splash from the top rope for the win.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 15, 2025

Backstage, LA Knight confronts The Usos ("Main Event" Jey and Jimmy Uso). General Manager Adam Pearce jumps in and demands that Knight and Jey meet him in his office now.

John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cena talks about coming back to Massachusetts and how he played football as an offensive lineman at nearby Springfield College, which he says prepared him for life in WWE. He says that old teammates and family members here tonight, then thanks Alicia Taylor for the ring announcement and talks about how his "never-seen seventeen" has evolved into a chance to make new moments as he has a tough mountain to climb. He talks about the "last real champion" part of his introduction and how Brock Lesnar wants to end it, saying that Lesnar is intimidating, controversial and "damn near invincible." He talks about how Lesnar makes a target out of him and makes it into a match, and says that his past matches with Lesnar are among the toughest challenges he has ever faced. He then asks how he does not say no when Lesnar makes a challenge. He says he could talk his way out of a match with Lesnar through backstage politics, especially when saying no is easy, then states that he says yes for the fans, as he is the last real champion and he has fought all his battles in the ring. Cena says that to him, being the last real champion is about leaving WWE better than he found it, being the last one to go home, and leaving it all in the ring and giving it all that he has. Cena admits that he is afraid of Lesnar and that he could fail, but he will not back down, for "we will take the fight against The Beast, for that is what we do." He calls his match with Lesnar one last match between two generational matches, then says that he founded Suplex City, taken Lesnar's best shots, and still kept going. He says his jorts are stronger than Brock's jeans and that he will beat Lesnar.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with "Main Event" Jey Uso and LA Knight. Knight wants "Big" Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a match, and when Pearce asks who his partner is, Knight picks Jimmy Uso, much to Jey's chagrin.

Lyra Valkyria beats Roxanne Perez. After the match, Lyra is attacked from behind and laid out by Raquel Rodriguez, who was ejected from the match earlier for tripping Lyra on the outside, with Roxanne joining in. Suddenly, Bayley - who has not been seen in the ring in some time - runs into the ring and fights Roxanne and Raquel, quickly getting the better of them, with Toxanne receiving a Bayley-to-Belly. Bayley soon starts hearing the voices in her head again, but blocks them out and suddenly starts hugging Corey Graves and Joe Tessitore at the commentary table, ring announcer Alicia Taylor, referee Jessica Carr, and the front row fans, much to Lyra's confusion.





Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce finalizes Stephanie Vaquer vs. Iyo Sky for the Women's World Championship at WrestlePalooza. Both women respect each other, but are confident they will win. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) walk in, and Asuka says nobody is ready for Iyo Sky. Asuka then tells Stephanie she will face Kairi Sane tonight. Adam Pearce makes the match official.

Backstage, LA Knight meets with Jimmy Uso, saying that he has picked him as a tag team partner against Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed. Jimmy Uso is reluctant, but Knight says Jimmy proved himself to him compared to the rest of family and did not try to screw him. Jimmy says he is in a tight spot, then tells Knight he has to find somebody else.

Penta beats Kofi Kingston after superkicking Grayson Waller for trying to interfere as Xavier Woods distracts the referee.



Backstage, Jimmy Uso meets with "Main Event" Jey Uso. Jey tells Jimmy that he has to say now to Knight when he wants him to be his tag team partner, as they have "Big" Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker at WrestlePalooza. Jimmy says he told Knight no, then says he will not take order from Jey and tell shim to change his tone, as he has no ula fala around his neck.

We see footage of "Main Event' Jey Uso throwing the first pitch for the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park last night.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso tells LA Knight that he is in as his tag team partner.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Becky Lynch head to the ring. Rollins decides to ignore the town of Springfield, Massachusetts for their "CM Punk" chants and address the fans watching on Netflix instead. Rollins welcomes everyone to "Monday Night Rollins" before introducing Becky, and as Becky says she will say what she has to say to people's faces tonight, CM Punk and AJ Lee show up and head to the ring. CM Punk introduces himself as "AJ's husband" and says he does not need to go into his wife's accolades and accomplishments and that the chants make it clear that everyone is here for her and that they know her name. Punk tells Becky he made a career out of telling people what he thought of them to their faces, then says he is overwhelmed about what to see about Seth and Becky. Punk says they brag about being "the greatest wrestling couple" but cannot get on the same page and share the spotlight, as everybody had to listen to "two crappy songs" while he had no problem putting "Cult of Personality" on the shelf for AJ Lee. He says they share a brain cell and a wardrobe, but questions if they can show a unified front without their egos getting in the way. Rollins calls CM Punk "the most selfish person [he] has ever met in [his] entire life," then proclaims he will do something "very unselfish" and gives CM Punk credit, saying this is the best decision Punk has ever made in his entire personal life. The fans chant "No one likes you" at Rollins as he then says that as far as business is concerned, it will be the biggest mistake and regret he will have for the rest of his days. AJ says she would not be here if Becky did not use Rollins as her human shield, and Becky says nobody expected AJ to come back. She then says it is irresponsible of Punk, as he only cares about himself, the World Heavyweight Championship and AJ Lee. Becky mentions AJ Lee talking about how she felt mentally last week, but asks AJ how her neck is after reading AJ's book and brings up Punk's feud with Drew McIntyre before asking him how he will feel when he pummels AJ Lee's face in. She says AJ is a liability and not an asset before AJ admits that she did not ready Becky's book and that she does not know how her neck will hold up after Saturday, then says Becky should worry less about her neck and more about what she will do next. AJ admits she can be erratic, make irrational decisions and "shank a chick," then says while Rollins made a plan out of Becky, he cannot plan for something he cannot predict. Rollins chuckles, saying she can handle AJ, and states that while he cannot predict AJ, he can read Punk like a book, and mentions that he has a nasty habit of leaving when things let him down. He proclaims that when Becky rips her into shreds on Saturday, she had better pray to God that Punk does not leave her, too. AJ slaps Rollins, and while Rollins says he will not put his hands on a lady, he has someone who will. Becky then realizes Rollins is talking about her, and the two of them argue about whether she should slap AJ. Rollins blames this on Becky, and Becky walks out on Rollins. Punk then chases after Rollins, but while he does this, Becky gets back in the ring and hits AJ with the Manhandle Slam. When Punk checks on AJ, Becky slaps Punk and runs away before he and Rollins laugh.



Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Dominik says that he is now Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion, which makes him "Mega Intercontinental Champion." All of a sudden, a commotion is head, and General Manager Adam Pearce and officials have to stop Xavier Woods from hitting Penta with a metal folding chair. The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) check on Penta.

El Grande Americano beats Dragon Lee by submission. During the match, the second El Grande Americano shows up and distracts the referee. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up and takes him down, but is suddenly attacked by a third El Grande Americano. The third luchador distracts the referee while the second luchador shoves Dragon Lee off the top rope, allowing El Grande Americano to win by submission.



Backstage, Lyra Valkyrie overheads Bayley arguing with her two voices when the door slams in her face. Lyra walks in on a suddenly calm Bayley and thanks her for her help, especially after what happened between them, but Bayley goes off on Lyra and leaves.



Backstage, Stephanie Vaquer is met by Rhea Ripley, who says that regardless of who wins the Women's World Championship between her and Iyo Sky, she is coming for her.

Stephanie Vaquer beats Kairi Sane. After the match, Asuka is about to get into the ring with Stephanie Vaquer, but Iyo Sky rushes out and stands between them. Iyo has to reason with Asuka, and Asuka reluctantly leaves the ring before Iyo and Vaquer have a staredown and shake hands in the ring.



We hear from Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Bronson gives The Usos ("Main Event" Jey and Jimmy Uso) credit for being the best tag team in the business until now, and that this will soon come to an end. Breakker says Seth "Freakin'" Rollins has a vision, and it is The Usos looking up at the lights. Bronson says tonight is a preview of WrestlePalooza and that he could let LA Knight and Jimmy Uso take each other out, but they will learn what happens when the dog is let off the leash. Breakker then says that The Usos will come to an end and that Jimmy will have to ask himself where he goes from here, as Rollins has a vision and it does not change for anyone.

Backstage, Iyo Sky and Asuka argue again, with Kairi Sane tearfully wanting Asuka to stop. Iyo says she must win on her own like Asuka did. Asuka finally listens to her, but angrily leaves while Kairi continues to sob as she catches up with her.

Backstage, The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) celebrate "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio becoming a double champion. Finn Balor says they should pump the brakes on the victory lap due to Roxanne and Raquel having a rough night as well as El Grande Americano's involvement in Dominik's matches. Dominik says El Grande Americano wants his respect, but Finn Balor tells Dominik not to come looking for him and JD McDonagh when he plays the "King of the Luchadors" card again before he and JD leave. All of a sudden, Rusev shows up and introduces himself to Dominik, stating he will become the next Intercontinental Champion.



The Vision (Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed) beat Jimmy Uso and LA Knight. After the match, Bronson and Breakker gang up on Jimmy Uso, and Breakker hits Jimmy with a high-speed Spear. Bronson then goes for a Tsunami, but "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up with a metal folding chair. Breakker gets smacked with the chair, but Bronson smacks it away, and Jey Uso has to put up a bit of a fight before hitting Bronson with the metal folding chair so hard that the impact echoes around the arena. Jey checks on Jimmy, but Knight grabs the metal folding chair. Jey sees it coming and stares Knight down, and Knight throws the chair to the side before shaking hands with Jey. As soon as Jey turns around, however, Knight hits him with the BFT and leaves the ring to end the show.

He then welcomes everyone to tonight's show before Austin Theory shows up. Theory says this is not SmackDown, but "Austin Theory Live," then makes fun of him having a mugshot at his age before saying he will dropkick him in a couple of seconds and send him back to ESPN unable to do anything like Aaron Rodgers. Pat McAfee, who does not seem impressed, says he does not want to fight him, then says Theory is disrespectful to the fans and to the business as a whole, and that the show belongs to the people. When McAfee asks Theory if he knows what that means, The Rock suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. Theory asks The Rock if he knows whose ring he is in, then says it has been a long time before Rock tells Theory "Shut your bitch ass up." He tells Theory he has no idea how all of this works, hands his microphone to Pat McAfee, takes off his jacket, throws it into the front row, takes his microphone back, then proclaims that he has come back to Denver, Colorado. Theory says that everyone gets to see them both in the ring one last time, but instead of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, it is a "real ass kicker" who will "become the entire Mount Rushmore." After interrupting The Rock by telling him it does not matter what he says, The Rock tells him it does matter and that it also matters what the fans think, and that he and Stone Cold would agree that he should kick Theory's ass. This leads to The Rock calling Theory as asshole before getting one side of the arena to call him an asshole and then getting the other side to do it, which enrages Theory. The Rock then says he may not know who Theory is, but he and the fans know what he is, and he is about to kick his ass in three seconds. Theory strikes first, but The Rock hits him with the Spinebuster followed by The People's Elbow. Afterwards, Pat McAfee hits Theory with a People's Elbow of his own before The Rock throws one of Theory's shoes into the audience.

Finn reminds Jimmy that there are no leaders in The Judgment Day, which means no Roman Reigns. Finn leaves, then Paul Heyman shows up having overheard the conversation.

The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro, Zelina Vega) are in the ring. Rey talks about how his career was a crossroad and how he was in one of the hardest periods of his life until The Latino World Order reminded him of who he was and what true family represents. Rey says that since then, he is now United States Champion and he has a family who is more united and stronger than ever. Santos Escobar says that their family are champions, and when Theory stopped him from taking his title, Rey took his place and took Theory out. He says that Rey took Theory out like the legend that he is, and mentions that his dream is to take Rey on in a match with a title on the line, and asks Rey if he will defend the United States Championship. Rey is taken aback, but Escobar says he has nothing but love and respect for him. Rey accepts, then Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up. Lashley says that they have tag teams falling apart and having "awkward lovefests," then says that they will be taking over and it will be even easier than he ever imagined. As The Street Profits make fun of Rey and Escobar, Cruz del Toro tells them to go away if they're going to talk to them from 50 feet away, then Joaquin Wilde says The Latino World Order is always down for a fight. This leads to a tag team match.



The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The Latino World Order (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro). After the match, The Street Profits attack Wilde and del Toro, then Lashley attacks Escobar from behind. When Rey confronts Lashley, the numbers game quickly catches up.



LA Knight beats The Miz. After the match, LA Knight says that from the day he set foot in SmackDown, he said he would be coming for gold, and it doesn't matter who he has to beat because he is always top two and not number two, and this is his game.





Backstage, Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa are watching. Solo wants a piece of LA Knight, but Heyman tells him to wait for the order from Roman Reigns and that he should be concentrating on Jimmy Uso or else he will have to fight The Bloodline's battles. Solo Sikoa says he already knows what he needs to do and that he will finish it tonight. A frustrated Heyman wants to know who gave this order, and calls Roman Reigns.

Backstage, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) meet with WWE official Adam Pearce. When they find out that they will be back before, Elton Prince is alarmed at first, but Kit Wilson brings his confidence back. Adam Pearce also questions why Prince is in a wheelchair when he only injured his shoulder, to which Prince responds that some scars just cannot be seen.

He then says Cena could not help himself and had to make it about himself one more time at Payback. He then says that Cena is lying to the people and that he does not want to be an in-ring competitor, and while there is no doubt Cena is the greatest of all time, he is not the greatest right now and has not been the same since Austin Theory beat him at WrestleMania. Cena takes off his hat and T-shirt, and before he can speak, Jimmy Uso suddenly shows up. Jimmy and Cena have a staredown, and takes Cena's microphone before Cena can say anything, saying Grayson has a point and that nobody wants to see Cena, and that everybody came to see him. He warns Cena not to embarrass him like he did two weeks ago, then tells him to get out of his ring. Suddenly, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman show up. Cena and Solo have a staredown, and Jimmy asks Cena what he is going to do when Solo grabs Jimmy by the throat. He goes for the Samoan Spike on Jimmy at first, but turns around and superkicks Cena instead. As Jimmy and Solo gang up on Cena, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles runs into the ring and brawls with Jimmy. Cena and Styles soon finish the job, but Solo saves Jimmy from an Attitude Adjustment.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for September 15, 2022



Yuya Uemura beats Raj Singh in the BTI match.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against Mascara Dorada. (Interestingly, the referee loses a shoe during the match.) After the match, Mascara Dorada and Mike Bailey bow to each other in a show of mutual respect, then Kenny King shows up and attacks both men from behind. After pushing Mascara Dorada out of the ring, Kenny King hits Mike Bailey with Royal Flush, then runs as Mascara Dorada gets back in the ring.



We see Eric Young and Deaner with the men in the yellow hoodies. Eric Young has one man step forward and remove his hood. Eric Young asks the man if he knows his name, and when the man reluctantly says "Eric Young," Deaner attacks him. Eric Young asks another man to step forward and ask what his name is. The man says "The designer," which Eric Young approves. Eric Young says he is the designer and that everyone is here to see the revival of violence. He then asks another man and asks for his name. When he says "Justin," Deaner attacks him. Another man then steps forward at his request, and when asked his name, he says "I am violence." Everyone else soon says "I am violence" and repeats the sentence endlessly.

Backstage, Mike Bailey is met by Scott D'Amore. Bailey says he is fine after Kenny King's attack, and D'Amore praises Bailey for his successful X Division Championship defenses. D'Amore then says he has a new challenge at Victory Road, and tells him that he will defend the title against Delirious. He then announces that there will also be a Triple Threat Revolver Match where other challengers will face off for a shot at the title. D'Amore says that Yuya Uemura, Kenny King, Black Taurus, Mia Yim, Laredo Kid and Frankie Kazarian all want to face him for the X Division Championship.

Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus) beat Steve Maclin and Moose after Moose heckles a fan. After the match, Sami Callihan shows up, and says that as much as he would like to see them beat each other up, he knows that they are still working together in some capacity and shows a video where Moose is talking to his lawyer. In the footage, Moose tells his lawyer that he plans on screwing Maclin over in the end, then Sami says that Moose will throw Maclin under the bus. Maclin says that is the past and that there is a new deal, and nothing will stop them from tearing him apart. Sami then says he came prepared, and provides another video where Maclin is talking on a cellphone, telling someone that he will put a slug in Moose's head before Moose stabs him in the back. Moose and Maclin brawl in and out of the ring, then Sami Callihan attacks Maclin from behind before pulling a barbed wire baseball bat out form underneath the ring. Maclin inadvertently knocks Moose out of the apron before Sami hits him with the barbed wire bat. Maclin is forced to roll out of the ring before Sami can hit him again.



Decay (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka) meet at a bar. Rosemary blames Jessicka for Taya's loss last week, but Jessicka says it is Rosemary's fault. Taya sides with Jessicka, and says that Rosemary's tiff with Jessicka led to this. Jessicka says she is ready, but Rosemary says she needs to prove it. Taya says she has an idea.

Tasha Steelz guests on commentary for the next match.

Killer Kelly beats Alisha Edwards with the Killer Clutch. After the match, Killer Kelly stares down Tasha Steelz, and when Tasha sics Savannah evans at her to hit her with a steel chair, Kelly stomps the chair. When Tasha grabs the chair, Kelly drags the chair - and Tasha - into the ring for another staredown. Tasha Steelz slowly crawls out of the ring.



We see a vignette where somebody has been attacked with a chair. At the hospital, the man struggles to say the name of the person who threw the chair, then Joe Hendry shows up, his theme plays, and everyone claps as the man on the bed dies happily. Joe Hendry is returning to Impact Wrestling.

Honor No More (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) retain the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championships against "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Rich Swann. During the match, Eddie Edwards runs into the ring, but Josh Alexander is able to keep Matt Taven from winning. Maria Kanellis-Bennett distracts the referee as Josh Alexander goes for an ankle lock on Matt Taven, but Taven rolls through and Eddie Edwards clocks Alexander in the head with a Kendo stick. Mike Bennett then tries to distract the referee, then stops when Heath gets in the ring to hit Taven with the wake-up call, which the referee is able to turn around and see, leading to the disqualification win for Taven and Bennett.



Backstage, Jordynne Grace finds a message from Masha Slamovich saying "Masha's Gonna Kill You" when Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice show up with a very large pizza and a black envelope meant for Jordynne. Inside is a black-and-white photo of Maxx The Impaler, Jordynne's opponent in her "Pick Your Poison" match at Victory Road. When Zicky and Swinger both say that Masha is going to kill Jordynne, Jordynne takes a slice of their pizza and slaps Zicky in the face with it.

Backstage, Heath apologizes to Josh Alexander and Rich Swann. Scott D'Amore shows up and says that Honor No More is getting old, and praises Heath for the Wake Up Call on Matt Taven and praises Alexander and Swann for being on the same page. Scott D'Amore says Heath, Alexander and Swann can all get on the same page for their match against Matt Taven, Mike Bennett and Eddie Edwards at Victory Road.

Mickie James beats Hyan. After the match, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw shows up and upstages Mickie James, then asks if it has come down to Mickie James begging for matches against "nobodies" just to delay the inevitable and hold on to her spotlight a little bit longer. Gisele tells Mickie that her time is up, and if she wants to know if she can still hang, then they can have a match at Victory Road. Mickie James accepts, and Gisele tells Mickie that her time in the spotlight is over because the spotlight has always been hers.



We see Vincent talking to PCO. He takes the black bag off of PCO's head and says he does not like seeing PCO get hurt after asking him if he likes getting hurt, then tells him to imagine a sword swallower putting a sword in his mouth, pulling out his heart and dying. He asks PCO who is there to give a sword swallower a hand on the stage, then says the two of them are Honor No More before putting the bag back on his head.

We hear from Brian Myers. He says that when one is young and hungry and have gotten a taste of success, one does not want it to end. He says he accomplished a lot at 23 years old, then he fell off and has been going up and down ever since. He climbs a ladder as he says that Bhupinder Gujjar has been climbing and will soon be crashing down thanks to him. Both men will be in a ladder match for the Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship next week.

After the match, Adam Cole says that hope is a dangerous thing and that the locker room hopes they can keep up with The Elite, then says that will not happen.

He says that if they are so tough, then next week on Rampage, they can face him and The Young Bucks in a six-man tag match.

MJF and Wardlow head to the ring. MJF says the fans for sympathetic for Brian Pillman Jr. when they should be sympathetic for him for being in New Jersey, and says that Bruce Springsteen, Mia Hamm and the New Jersey Devils "suck as hard as the Jersey Shore skanks." He then says that he was smartened up to the fact that his words last week may have offended people, then says he does not care as the fans tell him to "shut the fuck up." MJF then says he is "the salt of the earth" and a religious man, then has a word with the late Brian Pillman before looking up and pretending to talk to Pillman before looking down and telling him they need to talk. He then says that though Pillman is a legend, Pillman's widow "Methanie" created a sorry excuse of a second-generation wrestler in Brian Jr., and tells Pillman to tell his son that he will massacre Pillman Jr. MJF says the fans can chant as much and as long as they want, but in the end, it will be all too obvious that he is better than Pillman and he knows it. Before he can finish, Brian Pillman Jr.'s entrance theme hits and MJF sends Wardlow to cut him off at the pass. Pillman Jr. shows up from behind the barricade and has a chair, but before he can hit MJF, Wardlow stops him. Pillman sends Wardlow tumbling over the rope, and Wardlow retreats before Pillman Jr. can hit him with the chair.



In footage from earlier today, Jim Ross interviews Brian Pillman Jr. Pillman says it is important for him to fulfill his father's legacy and make him proud, and last week, he felt he let his father down. He then says that while MJF woke up with a silver spoon, he fought for his life, and that the two of them are not the same and that MJF has never been in the ring with a man like him who had a feral upbringing and a lot of adversity. He warns MJF that next week, he will be stepping into the ring not with a man, but with a Pillman.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus) and Christian Cage. Jungle Boy says he has better friend and hair than Adam Cole, then Christian says that while Adam Cole has pretty good friends, they dragged him out of developmental. He says that he and Jurassic Express accept Cole's challenge, then tells him to get used to losing on Fridays in addition to losing in Wednesday night wars.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Matt Sydal and Dante Martin.



The commentary table addresses "The Suzuki Incident," in which Minoru Suzuki's entrance theme was not played last week, leaving Suzuki feeling slighted. We then see a video package vs. Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer vs. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston next Friday on Rampage.

Malakai Black heads to the ring. He asks members of the House of Black in the crowd to rise, for they have an enemy in their midsts. Rosario Dawson of "The Go Big Show" is seen in the front row in a Nightmare Factory jacket, and she jumps the barricade to confront Black at ringside. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes comes down to the ring from the stands, and Rosario Dawson stalls Malakai Black's escape by getting on top of him before Cody is able to catch up to Black and fight him in the crowd.



It is announced that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black will take place next week on Rampage.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between The Bunny and Anna Jay so far.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Anna Jay. As Evil Uno promises that he will lead the way while cutting off Anna Jay, Alex Reynolds shows up and calls Uno out for it. After Alan "5" Angels butts in, Anna Jay says that if The Dark Order can't get it together, she will not want them at ringside.

In the ring, we hear from Dan Lambert, who says that the merchandise table used to be the way of knowing who was in demand. As Lambert rambles on, Chris Jericho and Jake Hager show up. Lambert demands that Jericho's theme be turned off, as the fans don't know the words and are looking it up through their cellphones. Unfortunately for Lambert, the fans know the lyrics to "Judas" from Fozzy quite clearly. Jericho says they could all sing along to Lambert's theme, but nobody knows the words to "I'm A Fat-Faced Dipshit, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." Lambert calls Jericho "the master manipulator" and is able to manipulate people into spending their allowance from their moms on his music and merchandise, then Jericho calls Lambert an old man yelling at the AEW could before asking who in the ring is on top. Jericho then says Lambert has nothing to say because his power is in his fist and he relies on fearmongering and misinformation, then says everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face, which Jericho says he and Hager will do. Lambert tells Jericho that if he really wants a fight between The Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page) and "The Inner Circlejerk," it will be in a real city - New York City - and not "the shithole that is New Jersey." Jericho accepts the challenge, and says there will be no escape from New York for The Men of the Year.



We hear from The Gunn Club (Billy, Austin and Colten Gunn). Billy Gunn says there is nobody disrespected more in AEW than them despite their undefeated record, and that respect will be given one way or another. He says that if anyone has a problem with it, all they have to do is say when.

We hear from Andrade el Idolo, who says that anyone who lies to him does not respect him, and that he had orders not to interrupt his match. He grabs Jose and demands answers, and tells him that he is the boss, not Chavo Guerrero, and that he can beat anyone when he wants. It is then announced that Andrade has told Chavo Guerrero that his services are no longer required.

Taz confronts CM Punk at the announce table for "taking [his] job," and CM Punk stands up and tells him to take the seat while Hook watches. Taz and Hook step back, and Hook and Punk have a staredown before Punk is blindsided by Powerhouse Hobbs. Punk fights back, but Hook puts him in a Dragon Sleeper while Hobbs nails Puink with a cheap shot. Hook then directs traffic, telling the commentary team to clear out before clearing the table. Powerhouse Hobbs then slams CM Punk through the announce table.



We hear from Shawn Spears, who says that Darby Allin is correct for calling him "a generic piece of shit," saying that he was the first to beat Darby Allin and that he will beat him again.

Darby Allin beats Shawn Spears. After the match, FTR get in the ring, and so doe Sting. Both Sting and Darby brawl with FTR, and Tully Blanchard gets in the ring with a chair and hits Sting only for Sting to confront him.

Tully Blanchard then takes a damp cloth to Sting and tries to wipe the facepaint off Sting's face.



We hear from Bryan Danielson, who says The Elite is insecure. He then says that he is going after Kenny Omega after seeing how great he is, and that he is excited to be in the ring again and be the best Bryan Danielson he can be. He says that he wants Omega as his first match, and after seeing everyone wanting to get into the ring, he is here and he is game.

Tony Schiavone interviews Bryan Danielson in the ring.Before Danielson can say much of anything, Don Callis and Kenny Omega show up. Callis says he has heard enough of Danielson and calls him "a sanctimonious son-of-a-bitch." Callis mocks Danielson making the decision to sign to AEW and thinking it would be the best decision for business, and says that Danielson is not just a "carny piece of shit," but a mark like the rest of the fans. He then says that he and Omega make the title matches, not Danielson, and Danielson tells Callis to shut up. He says he is here to talk to Omega, and says that while it will eventually be about the title, right now it is about who is better. Danielson proposes a match between himself and Omega, but when Callis objects, Danielson yells "Shut up, you piece of shit!" before saying he came here to talk to Omega again. He also says that he came to fight "The Best Bout Machine" and "The God of Pro Wrestling" but only saw a guy who hangs out with a bunch of goofy stooges whom he lets talk for him. Danielson then says he has heard rumors that Omega lost a step or his confidence, then says Omega really lost his balls before proposing the match again. Omega tells Danielson that if he wants "The Best Bout Machine" and "The God of Pro Wrestling," then his answer is yes. Omega and Danielson then have a staredown.



We hear from Miro, who says that every man he has redeemed has moved on to a better career and have not stuck around, and questions why Fuego del Sol has called him out. He then says he will bash Fuego del Sol's head and car, and that Fuego del Sol's family will always be thankful for him.

He asks D'Amore to let him get back in the ring to face Eric Young. D'Amore says he has respect for Swann and says he would love to see him face Eric Young, but Swann is not medically cleared and cleared for physical contact. Swann says he will be ready by Bound For Glory, and after beating him once, he wants to beat him again. D'Amore says he loves his fighting spirit and knows he wants to compete, but if he were to put Swann in a match with Eric Young, he might be crippled for life. Swann says he might be right, but asks D'Amore to put himself in his shoes. He says that if he were to have the opportunity at a world championship after everything he went through, he would take it, and says that D'Amore is still in the business to give people like him the chance, as Young tried to not only ruin his career, but his life. Swann says he does not care if he gets crippled; he just wants Eric Young, and if he can't have Eric Young, he might as well be taken to the back of the barn and put down. Before D'Amore can say anything, Eric Young shows up.

Jay Lethal shows up to start tonight's show. He says that for years, people have asked him what his favorite match in ROH, and he has looked back on some of the matches that he has had. He then says there is a new one to add to the list, and that his favorite match is his 30-minute Iron Man Match against Johnathan Gresham from last week. Lethal says the match reminds him of what ROH was built on and why he got interested in wrestling, as all you need is two great wrestler wanting to prove who the best is. At the end of the match, Gresham earned his respect as well as a good friend, and tells him he is there for him before saying he wants more matches for the ROH World Championship like that one. He then issues "a Lethal challenge" not only to the locker room, but to any locker room and any wrestler anywhere who feels they have mastered their craft, simply saying "Come and get it." Suddenly, "The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay is seen on the video screen, having faced Lethal in his last match in ROH, wanting to go through Lethal to wear ROH on his back. He challenges Lethal for the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor. Lethal accepts the challenge.

We hear from SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky). Scorpio Sky says it all started with The Addiction (Daniels and Kazarian) versus The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), but Punishment Martinez had to inject himself into this. For this, he is glad to join in, as nobody plays it better than SCU.

We hear from The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), who plan to show SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) how they get it done. Punishment Martinez tells SCU to prepare to be punished.

Brandi Rhodes guests on commentary for the next match.

Sumie Sakai beats Tasha Steelz in a Proving Grounds Match. (Had Tash Steelz won, she would have received a ROH Women of Honor Championship title shot in the near future.)

We hear from Bullet Club. "The Villain" Marty Scurll says that when you talk about the most popular groups in Japan, they are #1, and at the very bottom of the pile in New Japan is CHAOS. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes says they can come to Las Vegas and enjoy the buffet, but CHAOS is no match for Bullet Club.

Ian Ricobonni interviews Sumie Sakai in the ring. After Sumie Sakai's recent defenses of the title all over the world, the ROH Women of Honor Championship is officially known as the ROH Women of Honor World Championship. Sumie says she been through a lot in America and that this is her home, and nobody can know how happy she is to be where she is today. She says she will do her best as champion, but there is one more person she wants to face: Tennille Dashwood. Tennille shows up, and says that sounds like a challenge to her and that she has the perfect place for it: Death Before Dishonor. Tennille says she respects Sumie Sakai and what she has done for the ROH women's division, but that does not mean she will take the title from around her waist. Both women shake hands, and the match is official.

We hear from Kenny King, and while he likes "Hangman" Adam Page, he is on a "Bullet Club baggin' spree" and when he is done stomping his gold locks to the ground, he will be looking ahead to Jushin "Thunder" Liger.

Ian Ricobonni interviews Jonathan Gresham. Gresham has heard what Jay Lethal has had to say. Suddenly, Bully Ray shows up, and tells Ian Ricobonni to say everything he has said about him on commentary to his face. Ricobonni says he does not want any trouble, then Bully Ray bullies Ricobonni out of the ring. Gresham then confronts Bully Ray about interrupting his interview, and Bully Ray decides to be the interview him now. Bully Ray claims that he single-handedly sold out Madison Square Garden for the company and that everyone is showing up for a guy like him and not a guy like Gresham. Bully Ray then brings up the Piper's Pit interview with Frankie Williams, comparing Gresham to Williams in the process, saying that if the people really loved him, they would have been giving him a standing ovation the second he walked in and says he doesn't see the fans doing that for him now. The fans respond by giving Gresham a standing ovation to spite Bully Ray, and dares Gresham to take the microphone out of his hand if he wants it that badly. Gresham simply takes it, and says he knows Bully Ray is looking for a fight, because he knows that he cannot beat Bully Ray in a fight. However, he challenges Bully Ray to a wrestling match, saying that he knows he could win it and that he has seen D-Von carry Bully Ray through multiple matches for the last twenty years on national television. This leads to a "D-Von" chant from the crowd before Gresham says that he stands by his challenge, and if Bully Ray beats him, he will shake his hand like a honorable man in the center of the ring. However, if he beats Bully Ray, then Bully Ray will have to shake his hand like a man. Bully Ray demands a referee come to the ring right now, and the match becomes official. As soon as the match starts, however, Bully Ray kicks Gresham in the groin and pushes referee Todd Sinclair, tells Gresham that he is the better wrestler, then smacks Gresham with his chain. Flip Gordon runs in, but Bully Ray takes him out, and Jay Lethal then runs in the ring and brawls with Bully Ray. Suddenly, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young shows up and hits Misery on Jay Lethal, leading to the crowd chanting "Fuck you, Silas!," which is noticeably censored on the broadcast. Bully tries to give Silas a hug, but Silas pushes Bully Ray and walks off.

Backstage, Jay Lethal meets with Johnathan Gresham, and says that he is sick and tired of Bully Ray sticking his nose in other people's business, and if "The Last Real Man" Silas Young wants to bring up past grievances, then they can finish this once and for all. Gresham says he did not come to ROH for this, and Lethal challenges Silas and Bully Ray to a tag team match against him and Gresham for next week.

We hear from Chris Sabin, who says that Punishment Martinez attacked Alex Shelley and re-injured his jaw to play mind games with him, but he knows that Punishment Martinez is worried and insecure as he has ne never been in the ring with anyone like him. At Death Before Dishonor, all of his money is on him and he is walking out as ROH World Television Champion.

Chris Sabin guests on commentary for the next match.

SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) beat The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and Punishment Martinez. During the match, Jay Briscoe brings a steel chair into the match, but Kazarian ducks and Jay hits referee Paul Turner instead. This leads to Kazarian and Scorpio Sky having the chair thrown at their heads, and Chris Sabin runs from the commentary table to the ring to attack Martinez by using his shoes as weapons before chasing him to the back. Kazarian and Daniels then hit Mark Brisco with a double-team moonsault into a Meltzer Driver to get the win after senior referee Todd Sinclair runs in to make the count.

Backstage, Eli Drake plays a song he calls "Night of the Dummies." After that, he welcomes everyone to the show, then says he has procured only the greatest talent available on this world, and tonight, he has Moose, The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz), Alisha Edwards and Homicide. Tonight's main event, however, will be him vs. Eddie Edwards. We then see Eli Drake outside, interviewing some tailgaters in a parking lot.

Fallah Bahh beats "The Supercop" Dick Justice. Both men show respect after the match.

Moose says it has been a long time since he has been in Binghamton, New York, and says that it is amazing how things still stay the same as "Binghamton sucks." Tonight, he wrestles KM, and KM will step in the ring with a legend and find out why he is called "Mr. Impact Wrestling."

Backstage, "The Supercop" Dick Justice says that when Impact Wrestling called him, they said they needed a stand-by wrestler. In Binghampton, however, he is no stand-by wrestler or Richard Justice; he is "The Supercop" Dick Justice. He says he had Fallah Bahh, but Fallah Bahh has to be one of the smartest men he has met in his life. Bahh may have beaten this time, but next time, justice will be served.

We see footage from earlier today where Eddie Edwards looks for his wife Alisha Edwards. He finds her in the Knockouts' dressing room, and tells him to get out. Also, his Kendo stick is named "Kenny."

Alisha Edwards beats Rebel. Both women show respect after the match.

Backstage, Eli Drake congratulates Alisha Edwards on her victory, but says he is an equal opportunity dummy namer. Suddenly, he finds out that Jimmy Jacobs is in the room. Jimmy says that while this is Eli Drake's show, he finds it odd that he is not even on the card. Eli tells Jimmy that he has something for him, and that he is bringing back Facts of Life with Jimmy Jacobs as a guest. Jimmy Jacobs accepts the invitation.

Backstage, Alisha Edwards says she was victorious tonight against Rebel and that this proves she can hang with the best in the Knockouts Division. She says that while Rebel was able to bring it, so was she, and she proved that anything is possible.

Team Tremendous (Dan Barry and Bill Carr) beat The Heavenly Bodies (Desirable Dustin and Gigolo Justin).

In footage from earlier today, Homicide tells The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) that he is here, and says that they have nothing compared to The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez). He says that if Konnan thinks he can play him, he's got another thing coming, and tonight, nothing is going to stop him because this is his world.

Eli Drake shows up. He says he came to Binghamton, New York with the mobile, play-at-home version of the Eli Drake Dummy Button, and with that, he is doing a live version of Facts of Life. After testing to see if the mobile version of the dummy button works, he introduces Jimmy Jacobs to the show. Jimmy Jacobs shows up, and Eli Drake wants to know what it is that made Jimmy want to be part of the show so badly. Jimmy says he always gets what he wants, but tonight, it is about what Eli Drake needs. He eels that Eli Drake has no idea what he is in for in his match against Eddie Edwards tonight. Eli Drake says that Eddie Edwards doesn't have what it takes, but Jimmy Jacobs says that Eli Drake should be more careful as Eddie will be swinging his kendo stick. Jimmy then offers his help, but Eli Drake doesn't take this too seriously and Jimmy says the only person who will be laughing at the end of the night will be Eddie Edwards. Eli Drake says that Eddie Edwards is a victim of his own ambition and has a first-classic ticket to the Gravy Ticket, and that he does not need his help. Jimmy responds by saying that Eli Drake is a dummy along with the fans in attendance, and says that somebody in the back will be needing his help. He calls out Santana, saying that Santana might be needing his help, and Santana shows up. Jimmy says he heard a rumor that Ortiz got jumped by The OG'z (Homicide and Hernandez), leaving Santana alone tonight. Jimmy says Santana needs all the help he can get tonight, and offers Santana his help. Santana shakes Jimmy's hand, then kicks in the face. He then demands that the next match begin.

Santana beats Homicide in a Street Fight.

We hear from Eli Drake, who says that he comes from a lineage of strong men before saying he has three favorite moments from tonight's show: the Eli Drake tailgater interview, the live Facts of Life show (in which he says that Jimmy Jacobs will not be at Night of the Dummies 2 next year) and him beating Eddie Edwards later tonight.



Backstage, Santana says that if The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) thought it was a good idea to play games with The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz), they have anohter thing coming, as LAX have won the battle and are about to win the war.

Sean Carr beats Brute Vanslyke. Both men stare down after the match.

Backstage, Fallah Bahh and KM celebrate the former's win, then KM sayas that he will beat Moose tonight so they cna be even. Suddenly, Fallah Bahh wants to know why KM isn't wearing the same thing that he is, saying it is the reason why they are winning as a team. KM says that if he loses tonight, he will dress like Fallah Bahh for the rest of his career. The two men then shake on it.

Before the next match, Moose talks about Syracuse University, which is down the road from the arena, then says he doesn't need the fans to become a legend because Binghamton, New York sucks. Tonight, he wrestle KM, and KM gets to wrestle a legend. He then calls out KM so he can beat him and get out of "this god-forsaken town."

Moose beats KM.

Backstage, KM wonders what he did wrong in his match with Moose, whom he says he had beat. Fallah Bahh, who is at catering, reminds KM of the bet. KM says he has kidding, but realizes he has to take it seriously now.

Before the next match, Eli Drake wants the kendo stick out of Eddie Edwards' hands. Eddie Edwards drops the kendo stick so it lands outside of the ring. When the match starts, Eddie Edwards slaps Eli Drake on the ass, and Eli Drake gets on the microphone again to announce that there will be no ass slapping. He also gets on the microphone a third time after an arm drag from Eddie Edwards to ban arm drags in the match, and a fourth time to ban Eddie Edwards from making snow angels in the ring following a belly-to-belly suplex. Later still, Eli Drake has to ban chops, then tries to go even further only to be booted off the apron by Eddie Edwards, who then goes for a tope suicida only to get a microphone shot to the head.



Eddie Edwards beats Eli Drake. During the match, Eddie Edwards takes a fan's prosthetic leg to use it as a weapon, but Eli Drake also makes that illegal. Eddie Edwards hits a cameraman with it, then hits Eli Drake with the prosthetic leg as the referee checks on the cameraman. Shortly after that, Eli Drake knocks the referee into the ropes and tries to use a steel chair as a weapon, but the referee tries to stop him and gets pushed away as a result. Eddie Edwards hits Eli Drake with the kendo stick as the referee is briefly stunned, then gets the pinfall and makes a snow angel in the ring.
